Passage 6

Women’s fashions change more rapidly than men’s. In the early 1990’s, all women wore their skirts to the ankle. Today, some skirts are even longer than before, but some are very short. Women’s shoes have also gone through all sorts of boots for women were very common at the beginning of this century. Then for years, they were not considered fashionable. Today, they’re back again in all colours, lengths and materials. In fact, today’s women can wear all types of clothes on almost any occasion. While all of these changes were taking place in women’s fashions, men’s clothing remained almost the same until a few years ago. And, in fact, most men are still dressed in the kinds of clothes they used to wear.

Translation　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

有些人从来没对过。他们从来就没有好运。他们经常做错事，说错话。即使他们说的和做的是对的，他们说的或做的时候也不对。因此，这些人常遇到麻烦。他们常打破玻璃杯子，错过公共汽车或火车。教育博客

尼夫先生则不同。他总是对的。他从来没有错过。他通常都有好运。他几乎没有麻烦。

他从来没有错过公共汽车和火车。即使他真的错过了，那也都是公共汽车和火车的过错。

尼夫先生几乎什么都通晓。他从不问问题。他只是回答问题。他从不说“我不知道。”

我不认识尼夫夫人。似乎认识她的人很少。我有时想了解一点关于她的情况。她总是对的吗？或者也许她总是错的吗？她常打破玻璃杯子或者错过公共汽车和火车吗？

她有麻烦吗？我真的想知道。教育博客
